I did not mention the Holocaust. And I'm not saying anything bad about Jewish people, rather the people who treated them badly. I suggest you understand what's going on before you jump to conclusions.

Times were different back then, less rights, less expectations. In fact, many immigrants did not know English. I would bet that the immigrants now know more English (whether good or bad) than those back then.

And how old are you? Fast food places differ from city to city so that's not the best example, but working in the fields is.

Very lame answer, I'm disappointed.

Citizens have rights, not illegal aliens.
(the correct phraseology would be 'fewer' rights, not 'less' rights'; 'lower' expectations, not 'less' expectations, FYI)

However, I do not agree with your poorly written statement.

I'm 58 years old, if that matters at all.

If all 20 million illegal aliens are working in the fields it must be pretty crowded out there on the farms.

You strongly inferred the Holocaust by mentioning Hitler's name in the same sentence as Jews. Face it: you cannot wiggle out of it.

I'm just curious is you can tell me when Hitler came into power and when the Holocaust started? It's not "wiggling out" it's actually knowing history and applying it. But I like that you ignored a whole half of my post.

No, it's a fine answer. I could tell you 1+1=2 and you wouldn't like that. You understood what I was saying but If you are going to play semantics as it seems that's all you really can do with your posts then go ahead. It does not change the blind ignorance that you hold so dearly.

I asked your age because I wanted to make a point that time were different from then to now. Just as from the 1800s to now.

It doesn't matter where they were, they were still blamed and legal immigrants are still not completely accepted. Don't try to spin this.

Fields like in California, a large population of immigrants work picking strawberries. The reason they have jobs there of course is because of lower wages but they had the opportunity to do so because who wanted to do that?

I wasn't diverting, I was adding.

They are working the fields because the farmers refused to use the visas to gain LEGAL foreign workers for those jobs. It was more profitable for them to hire illegal aliens instead. It is the same thing with other jobs where the employers are hiring illegals. It is all about more profit not because they coulnd't find a legal immigrant or an American worker to do those jobs.

Because those illegals are holding middle management jobs?

Playing semantics? I was just trying to aid you in using the English language correctly. Look up the word 'semantics' before using it in a sentence.

Yes, times were different when I was young. There was no overwhelming influx of illegal aliens then. If there were, I probably would not have had that job, which I really needed at that time. However, the USA was still producing crops, even back in those old-timey days. That is the same now as it was then. Back then, crops were harvested by migrant workers, who legally came into the US for the seasonal work, then would take their money and head back to their homeland. Those migrant workers really had no need to learn English since they were here on a migrant worker visa.

There is no need to be mean. Your derrogatory statements only prove that you have no argument.

You don't know me and you have no idea what I hold dear.

I used the correct word. And it's derogatory not derrogatory. With you correcting me you should at least get that down. You yourself were the same way to me.
